FRESHWATER LANDSCAPING
Plymouth Landscaping & Hardscapes
Serving Plymouth & the Lake Minnetonka Area
Welcome to Freshwater Landscaping. Plymouth's landscape is shaped by Medicine Lake, Parkers Lake and Plymouth Creek, and by sloped lots on many of its streets. In the established neighborhoods off Vicksburg Lane and Fernbrook, the work often starts with the ground itself, because older homes here tend to see soil settling that sends water back toward the foundation. We build patios, walls and plantings with that in mind, and our crews handle everything from weekly turf care to full landscape construction.

Our Landscape & Property Services
Landscape Design & Hardscaping
Our crews specialize in transforming difficult, sloped lots in Plymouth into functional outdoor living areas. We design and install interlocking paver patios, natural flagstone walkways, and load-bearing boulder retaining walls.
Because the freeze-thaw cycle in the Lake Minnetonka area is so violent, we mitigate frost heave by excavating deep and using heavily compacted clear-rock bases — the difference between a patio that holds its line and one that heaves apart. From built-in outdoor kitchens to fire pits, we build structures meant to stay put.
Hardscape Capabilities:
- Custom Paver Patios & Flagstone Walkways
- Segmental Block & Natural Boulder Retaining Walls
- Laser Grading & Sub-Surface French Drain Installation
- Total Property Softscape Design (Sod, Mulch, Plantings)
Professional Tree Services
Neighborhoods around Medicine Lake and Parkers Lake carry mature canopy over homes, decks and garages, much of it Elm and Ash. Our tree services are set up for that suburban canopy.
When an Elm is cracking a foundation or Emerald Ash Borer has taken an Ash, our crews rig the tree down in sections over the roofline, prune what can be saved for wind load, and grind the stump below grade so the site is clear.
Arboriculture Services:
- Friction-Rigged Hazardous Tree Extraction
- Canopy Deadwooding & Building Clearance Pruning
- Commercial Sub-Grade Stump Grinding

Plymouth Landscaping FAQ
The cost of a custom paver patio in Plymouth depends heavily on the slope of your yard and the required aggregate base. For a standard flat backyard near Medicine Lake or typical residential neighborhoods, a professionally installed paver patio usually starts around $6,000. If your lot requires significant retaining walls to level the space before laying pavers, the investment will increase. We provide itemized quotes so you know exactly where every dollar goes.
For our clients in Plymouth, we handle complete property and lakefront transformations. This includes high-end architectural landscape design, the installation of large-scale boulder retaining walls, premium sod and mulch installation, and ongoing estate-level lawn maintenance to keep the property looking pristine year-round.
Absolutely. Older homes in Plymouth often suffer from soil settling that causes water to run back toward the foundation. We use laser-grading to re-pitch the soil safely away from your home, and we frequently install sub-surface French drains and catch basins to aggressively manage heavy spring snowmelt and summer downpours.
In the Lake Minnetonka area, the absolute best time to plant new shrubs, trees, or lay fresh sod is late spring (mid-May) or early fall (September). During these windows, the intense heat of the Minnesota summer has either not arrived or has broken, allowing young root systems to establish deeply in the soil without suffering from drought stress.
